2008 Winter Traditional Wood-Roasted Oolong Dong-Ding Master

Description: We are very excited to receive the 08 Winter batch of traditionally wood-roasted oolong from the Dong-Ding "sifu" I visited in September. We asked for longer and heavier wood-roasting level than what is normal for most Dong-Ding oolongs, so the oolong not only offer a great taste and complexity, but also a great potential for aging.

The evidence of "hand-harvested" can be clearly seen in the larger image: only the hand-harvested teas would unfurl to a complete "bud-leaves-stem" system.
